WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — WS/FCS is working on adding Narcan to all schools.
The drug can save the life of someone who has overdosed on opioids.
School leaders said it's better to be safe than sorry.
“We just hope that we hopefully will never have to use it. But in the event that we needed to use it, then hopefully we would be able to save a life,” said WS/FCS Director of School Nurses Katie Key.
The plan is still in its early stages.
ABSS is in a similar process. The district said it's researching Narcan dispensers.
This plan is also in the early stages; no timeline has yet been determined.
